Translation of campaign press release (posted by Darlin the Big) provided as a public service by Amber Lee

My press release for today will be to simply implore abused and humiliated cats everywhere to give some thought to the changing place of the feline in this human dominated world.

Do we simply want to remain objects for the humans idle pleasure? For putting on the funny bonnets, for taking pictures while we are engaged in personal activities, such as grooming or pooping, for booty shots and kitty porno? For putting us in pans on stoves and in ovens and making light plans to eat us if we aren't "good"? For giving us girly names when we are studly dudes, tricking us into going in the big Car to get beautiful, and we end up coming home with no fur at all in the most personal places, naked on the back, and posting these pictures all over the internet for everyone in the world to see?

I think not. I rather think that we felines would prefer to ourselves rule the world and I see The FUR as a small step in that direction. By choosing as the monthly martyr the most abused and humilated of the candidates; by honoring that martyr and chastising that martyr's human, each month, and each martyr will bring us closer to the goal of world domination. Since my story is so terrible, and my bare nakeid back so cold, I feel I would make the best May Martyr of the Month, and I'd appreciate the chastizing of the Mommy too.
